Hi All, I just wanted to update everyone on a new devstack-plugin that allows us to install alternate versions of libvirt(and qemu) into a devstack.
The motivation for this started in a Vancouver summit session but got more steam from from[2]. There is a project-config[3] change to add an experimental job to use this. The current state is that the plugin will install libvirt+qemu from Ubuntu Cloud Archive (liberty) and that's pretty mush it. I admit with Ubuntu 16.04 coming out RSN the utility of this is limited but that's just the first step. Some of the design considerations were: * Decouple the building of $packages from the devstack run * Use distrubution packages not tarballs etc * The plugin is a framework that allows this to be used (for example) by Neutron to test OVS[4] Short term TODO list: 1) Add support for virt-preview on Fedora-23 [should happen next week] 2) Use libvirt packages other than UCA [realistically post summit] Longer term TODO list: 1) find a home in the big tent 2) test all the things 3) Use this for Neutron to test OVS - Is there and existing package repo we can test on trusty? So it you're interested in helping out or using the plugin reach out! Yours Tony.
